Although widely planted throughout southern France and Spain, Grenache is not a well-known name among consumers as it most often appears in blends. On its own, it typically produces medium-bodied fleshy, fruity wines with less tannin and colour than most Mediterranean varietals, making it a perfect foil for darker, more structured varietals such as Syrah and Tempranillo.

Flavor Descriptors

Typically medium-bodied with cherry, raspberry, and strawberry fruit flavours as well as a range of spice notes including savoury herbs, black pepper, anis, and aromatic cedar. Its texture is usually soft and supple with a warm, mouth-filling fleshiness.

Food Pairings
